Something is causing this local inflammation and needs to be examined for proper diagnosis and management. Pl see an ENT asap.. You are doing the right thing by gargling. Hope you feel better

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor, preferably an ENT doctor. Wish you good health!

Recurring inflammation, ulceration, suggests bacterial, viral, or fungal infection. Please see a specialist Oral Medicine practitioner, a specialist Oral Pathologist, or a specialist ENT, for examination, lab tests, and the treatment plan supported by the diagnosis based on appropriate clinical data,
